One-and-Done Style: The Best Midi Dresses to Shop Now
Sundress season has officially arrived, and the unsung hero of summer? The midi dress. Like your favorite swimsuit or go-to sandal, it’s a warm-weather essential – equal parts effortless and elevated. With a mid-calf hemline and just the right amount of polish, midi dresses take the guesswork out of getting dressed. Toss on a pair of slides, a great pair of sunnies, and you’re out the door.
As we head into the month of July and the scorching temperatures that come with it, it’s the perfect time to refresh your selection. From breezy poplin styles á la Staud and Matteau and Cara Cara’s garden-party florals to evening-ready numbers (see: here and here) that are sure to land you on a best-dressed-guest list – there’s a midi for every summer moment.
Here, a shopping list full of one-and-done midis you’ll be reaching for on repeat.
